Chapter 401 What if we take it down?

At this time, on the coastline, one German soldier after another jumped from the fishing boat into the icy sea.

It is December now and the sea water is very freezing.

But these German soldiers still endured the pain and ran quickly towards the shore.

The landing operation officially began.

In the sky, the German fighter planes that had been waiting for a long time also rushed towards their respective targets.

They needed to cover the landing troops in their beach landing.

Fortunately, there were not many British troops along the coast, otherwise the German army would have been in great trouble.

After rushing onto the beach, all German soldiers began to look for cover to avoid the British attack as required by their training.

Wait until the subsequent Type 4 tanks arrive at the beach.

Due to the lack of professional landing ships, the Type 4 tank cannot be transported for the time being.

We can only use the Type 4 tank to hold the scene.

It can be said that this was a very hasty landing.

There are many purposes, such as accumulating landing experience, diverting the attention of the Allies, ambushing the British Royal Fleet, seeing if they can gain some advantage, etc.

So everything looks like a makeshift team and is not reliable at all.

After the Type 4 tank landed, the German infantry launched a charge towards the British positions under the cover of the tanks.

Some British soldiers who had managed to escape the bombing began to fight back with their weapons.

Bullets rained down on the German troops on the beach, and many German soldiers fell to the ground in an instant.
Seeing this, the other German soldiers immediately lay on the ground and fired back.

When the fighter planes in the sky saw this scene, they immediately rushed forward and strafed the British positions.

Da da da!
After a burst of gunfire, the British machine gun position that had been firing before was gone.

Seeing this, the German soldiers continued to move forward.

They are all elite soldiers who know that opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting and that there can be no delay.

Even if the comrades around you fall down, no one cares.

However, as more and more Leopard 4 tanks successfully landed, their pressure was greatly reduced.

The original dense barbed wire and concrete barriers were directly crushed into ruins by the Type 4 tank.

The landing operation was extremely bloody and cruel. For a time, the beach was covered with blood, like a river of hell on earth.

At least the German soldiers who landed later frowned when they saw this.

Some recruits vomited on the spot.

After all, the first batch of troops that landed must have suffered heavy casualties.

Without great courage, it cannot be done.

But their sacrifice was meaningful, at least their landing was very successful.

In other words, there are not many defenders here, but it would be the same if it were Dover Port.

I'm afraid that at this time, not only will the beachhead fail, but there will be corpses everywhere.

"Attack, they should be finished soon." Seeing that the British firepower had stagnated, the German commander made a prompt decision and ordered the soldiers to follow the Panzer IV tank.

"Throw grenades into the bunkers and take all the prisoners."

"Yes."

This kind of beach landing is a race against time.

There is no time to care about prisoners.

Faced with the difficult-to-attack bunker, dozens of grenades were thrown at it.

With an explosion, the bunker became completely silent.

Once the Germans gained a foothold, they began to clear out the British troops on the position.

The German recruits gradually adapted to the war from their initial discomfort.

Some British soldiers who wanted to surrender were beaten to pieces by German soldiers.

As more and more German soldiers joined the battle, the British resistance began to become weak.

At this time, the British fighter planes finally arrived, and the German fighter planes, which had been waiting for a long time, began to launch an attack.

The German fighter pilots were ready to die and engaged in a fierce battle with the British fighter planes. Unless they were blown up in mid-air, they would fight to the death.

Their mission was to cover the landing troops.

Only consider retreating when you really can't hold on any longer.

At the British headquarters in Portsmouth, the British commander was in a state of panic.

Until now, he still couldn't believe that the German army would choose Portsmouth as the landing site.

"Are you sure that this is the main attack direction of the German army?" asked the British commander again.

"Yes, the German army has dispatched the Type 4 tank, and their troops responsible for the landing are all elite." The adjutant said quickly.

"This is impossible. News just came from London that German bombers are taking turns bombing Dover Port, which is suffering from saturation bombing by the Germans." The British commander couldn't figure it out either.

In his mind, he thought this was probably just a feint attack site for the German army.

The Germans probably just wanted to distract them.

"Report this to Downing Street and let them worry about it." After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure out the key here, so he simply threw all the problems here to London.

…………

"Are you sure it's Portsmouth?" This time Churchill was no longer as panicked as before, but seemed very calm.

In other words, people have heard too many news reports about wolves, so they no longer care.

"Yes, the German army has dispatched a lot of troops and is currently expanding the scale of the landing." The secretary explained.

Hearing this, Churchill asked.

"How many people?"

"You'll have to ask the Army Minister about this." The secretary looked at the Army Minister standing beside him.

"What do you think of the Army?"

"We don't know what to say about this. According to the information we have received so far, it seems that the scale of the German landing is not very large." The Minister of the Army said after thinking for a while.

"Based on the firepower we have encountered so far, the Dover Port and Brighton areas are the heaviest."

"Although there were German landing troops in the Portsmouth area, their firepower was far behind."

Hearing this, many cabinet ministers in the conference room nodded.

They thought so too, so for a moment, they didn't know how to decide.

"Do you still think that this is just a decoy of the German army? Their real purpose is to wait for us to mobilize the main force?" Churchill understood what the other party wanted to say.

"It's possible. Otherwise, it would be too abnormal for only tens of thousands of people to land," the Army Minister said ambiguously.

In fact, Churchill also agreed with his view.

The landing force consisted of tens of thousands of people, and they were all on fishing boats. It was obvious that it was a makeshift team and it was a feint attack, the purpose of which was to mobilize their main force deployed along the coast.

He is not a fool, how could he be fooled?
He always believed that the German landing showdown was fake, and the landing site was not here, but definitely Dover Port.

"Then transfer two more infantry divisions to Portsmouth, and the Air Force should continue to transfer some fighter planes. If there are not enough fighter planes, send out those of the US military. We must drive the German troops there into the sea." After thinking for a while, Churchill spoke again.

"Yes."

.........

"The German army has begun to land?" Roosevelt was stunned for a moment when he received the news, and then he lit a cigar.

At first, he just wanted to arm the German army as a chess piece. Unexpectedly, the German army was so powerful that it was invincible in the European continent, punching Poland and kicking France.

It was originally thought that the German army would land on the British Isles.

As a result, they started fighting with the Soviet army again.

This finally made him feel at ease.

As long as they don't attack the British Isles, the German army can do whatever they want.

After all, the British Isles are their springboard for intervening in continental Europe.

Without this place, it would be impossible for them to cross the ocean and attack Europe.

It was originally thought that even if the war was over, the German army would not attack the British Isles.

Who knew that the German army would suddenly prepare to land on the British Isles.

This made him very confused.

If the German army really completes the landing, the British Isles will fall.

Even if America wants to intervene, there is no springboard.

For a moment, he felt a little regretful that he should not have indulged Germany so much.

No, we shouldn't have intervened in the European battlefield so late. We should have intervened in the European continent earlier, and perhaps none of these things would have happened.

But things have come to this, and we can only accept it calmly.

Fortunately, there is still a way to remedy the situation.

"Do you think the German landing will be successful?" Roosevelt asked.

Hearing this, the other staff members in the conference room looked at each other, and no one knew what to say.

Only Marshall spoke out.

"I think there is a high chance of success. First of all, the German army will never fight an unprepared battle from the beginning."

"Since they launched a landing battle, it means that they must have made sufficient preparations."

"Especially in North Africa, the German army won battle after battle, and they proved with their strength that their army is indeed very strong."

"So you mean that the British army will fail this time?" Roosevelt's tone was a little anxious.

He just wanted to bleed the British Empire, but he didn't want to destroy it completely.

By then, with the Atlantic Ocean between us, it will be really out of reach.

But he was very clear about the current situation.

If there is no rescue, the British army will definitely be doomed.

Just as Churchill judged, Roosevelt also felt that this was probably a smokescreen.

"Could it be just a smokescreen, with the purpose of transferring our main force from Morocco to the British Isles! To reduce the pressure on the German army in North Africa?" Roosevelt asked.

"It's hard to say. Maybe the Germans are serious. Of course, the possibility of their failure is very high. After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of British troops in the British Isles, and it is not so easy to occupy them." Marshall said lightly.

"From the current information, the scale of the landing of tens of thousands of German troops is not large. It is suspected to be a feint attack. This does not seem like the work of the German army." Marshall thought for a while and said again.

"In that case, let's wait a little longer. If the British army can't hold on, we will send more troops to reinforce them." Roosevelt also knew that he couldn't take it lightly anymore.

If this were to happen, his plan to become the world's hegemon would be completely shattered.

No matter what, the British Empire cannot be defeated.

The German army must not land on the British Isles.

"Tell Churchill that we will send reinforcements when necessary. Their task now is to hold their positions."

"Drive the German troops into the sea and closely monitor their movements." Roosevelt gave the order.

"Yes!" Marshall responded quickly.

………………

The loving father in Red Square also received the news that the German army had begun to land on the British Isles. After reading it, his face looked a little unhappy.

The German army actually had the energy to land on the British Isles when the situation on the Eastern Front was in a stalemate?
This made him look very unhappy.

Does the German army look down on them?
Or do you think the Soviet army is not worthy of being their opponent?
This made the loving father very unhappy.

At the same time, I am also a little worried.

If the German army really took over the British Isles, it would mean that they would completely unify the whole of Europe.

It will probably be really troublesome then.

Without the worries on the Western Front, the German army would inevitably transfer its millions of troops from the Western Front to the Eastern Front.

I'm afraid it will be really troublesome when that time comes.

Thinking of this, the bearded man became a little anxious.

He is not a fool.

Do you know how powerful Europe will be after integration?
"Increase the intensity of the attack on the front line." The kind father gave the order.

This sentence made everyone in the conference room silent, and then they looked at each other.

"Comrade great leader, the offensive force on the front line is already very strong." A general said cautiously.

Hearing this, the loving father glanced at him and said with some dissatisfaction.

"If our offensive was so powerful? Then why did the German army still have the strength to land on the British Isles?"

"Do you know what it would mean if the Germans took over the British Isles?"

Everyone's heart sank when they heard this. Everyone knew that the father was very angry and the consequences would be very serious.

"Great leader, comrade, we will urge the frontline troops to increase their offensive efforts."

"Well, we don't have much time left. We must inflict heavy damage on the German army this winter." The kind father spoke again.

"Yes."

.........

On the other side, Cun Yunsheng was stunned for a while when he received the latest news sent by William.

The German army actually sent troops to land on the British Isles, and the place they chose was the place he mentioned casually.

Fortunately, the scale of the landing was not large, with only tens of thousands of people, and it was obviously a feint attack.

Or it could be a probing attack, perhaps in the name of fishing.

"Are the Germans crazy? How many fronts are there for the war? Let me count, there are almost four fronts, right?" After reading the intelligence, Meng Fanle was stunned for a long time. The German army was really crazy.

The Nanyang Task Force is now struggling to cope with fighting on two fronts. Wouldn’t it be courting death to fight on multiple fronts?

As a result, the German army did just that, without caring at all whether the logistics could withstand it.

"They are not crazy because they are running out of time." Cun Yunsheng shook his head. He was a little confused at first, but he soon understood what the German officers were thinking.

If you don't go crazy now, you really won't have any chance.

As the Soviet army began to counterattack on the Eastern Front, the German army was running out of time.

"If they land on the British Isles at this time, once successful, it means that the British Empire will surrender, and then the millions of German main forces on the Western Front can be transferred to the Eastern Front. Then as long as the Eastern Front is held, the German army still has a chance to turn the tables."

"So, the German army has no solution now." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and explained.

Hearing this, Meng Fanle took a deep breath. Is this matter so complicated?
"Is the German army going to lose? Doesn't that mean the war is about to end?"

"If the German army fails to take over the British Isles, defeat is inevitable." Cun Yunsheng sneered.

"What if we catch him?" Meng asked in annoyance.
